OVERVIEWPower, heart rate, or RPE (rate of perceived exertion or how you feel)? Which data point is best for gauging intensity during training or a race, and which is best for monitoring training progress? Coach Adam Pulford tackles these frequently asked questions in Episode 249 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast". Although ALL THREE metrics have their place, Coach Adam reveals the hierarchy for what matters most and what metrics are used for context. TOPICS COVEREDPower vs Heart Rate vs RPE HierarchyHow to keep HR from drifting up during intervalsWhy HR might drop during intervalsWhy prioritize Power first, then RPE, and HR lastTraining at the top vs bottom of power zonesAll about Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE)Why three data points are better than oneASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESEston, R., & Connolly, D.

In the absence of a training plan or coaching, many runners get the trail or path at a running pace that just feels right. Run fast enough that you feel like you are training, but not so hard that it's too uncomfortable. Let's explore different definitions of running intensity, metrics to measure and which ones to use when: Defining Run Intensity - Run intensity refers to the level of effort or exertion you put into a running activity. It is often categorized as low, moderate, or high intensity, based on factors like pace, heart rate, breathing, and perceived effort. Here's a quick breakdown: Low Intensity: Easy, conversational pace. Your heart rate is relatively low, and you can maintain this effort for a long time. Moderate Intensity: Steady effort where you're working harder, but can still talk in short sentences. Your heart rate is elevated, and it's a great zone for building endurance. High Intensity: Challenging effort where talking becomes difficult, and you feel you're pushing close to your maximum capacity. This is often used in interval or sprint training. Rate of Perceived Exertion - Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a scale used to measure the intensity of your physical activity based on how hard you feel you're working. Unlike metrics like heart rate or pace, RPE is subjective and relies on your personal assessment of effort, factoring in sensations like breathing, muscle fatigue, and overall discomfort. Why Run to Perceived Exertion? Individualized Intensity: RPE adapts to your fitness level, energy, and external conditions (like heat or hills), offering a more personalized way to gauge effort. Improved Training: It helps balance your runs—ensuring easy days stay easy and hard days push you effectively. Injury Prevention: Avoid overtraining by recognizing when you're pushing too hard. When to Run to Perceived Exertion? Adverse Conditions: When gadgets like heart rate monitors or GPS devices are unreliable, such as in extreme weather or technical terrain. Adaptive Workouts: If you're feeling unusually tired or energetic, RPE allows you to adjust your workout to match your current capability. Race Training: For pacing strategies during races, especially if unexpected factors (like crowded race conditions) arise.   How to Run to Perceived Exertion? Use a simplified RPE scale (1 to 10): 1–2 (Very Easy): Recovery runs or warm-ups. You should feel like you can talk effortlessly. 3–4 (Easy-Moderate): Base-building runs, where you can hold a conversation without strain. 5–6 (Moderate): Steady effort runs, breathing heavier but still manageable. 7–8 (Hard): Tempo runs or intervals; talking is difficult, and you're focused. 9–10 (Maximum Effort): Short sprints or finishes; you're working at your limit. Incorporating RPE into your runs allows for more mindful training, adjusting to your body's signals in real time.   Heart Rate - Running to heart rate intensity involves monitoring and controlling your effort level based on your heart rate during exercise. This method helps align your training with specific fitness goals by ensuring you stay within optimal heart rate zones. Why Run to Heart Rate Intensity? Targeted Training: Heart rate zones align with physiological benefits like fat burning, aerobic endurance, or anaerobic power, making your training more effective. Prevent Overtraining: It ensures you don't push too hard on easy days or underperform on hard days. Performance Feedback: Tracks improvements over time as you can run faster at the same heart rate or maintain higher intensities for longer. When to Run to Heart Rate Intensity? Structured Training Plans: Ideal for workouts aimed at specific goals, like building endurance or improving speed. Recovery Runs: Helps keep effort low, avoiding unnecessary strain.   Race Pacing: Guides you to stay consistent and avoid burnout, especially during long races like marathons. How to Run to Heart Rate Intensity? Determine Your Heart Rate Zones: Calculate them based on your maximum heart rate (rough estimate: 220−age) or use a fitness test for accuracy. Common zones are: Zone 1 (50–60% of max HR): Active recovery. Zone 2 (60–70% of max HR): Aerobic endurance (easy effort). Zone 3 (70–80% of max HR): Steady-state/cardio fitness. Zone 4 (80–90% of max HR): Anaerobic power (hard effort). Zone 5 (90–100% of max HR): Maximal effort (short sprints). Wear a Heart Rate Monitor: Use a chest strap or wrist-based device for real-time feedback. Match Your Runs to Zones: Recovery runs in Zone 1–2. Long, slow distance runs in Zone 2. Tempo runs in Zone 3–4. Interval workouts in Zone 4–5. Training by heart rate takes time to get used to, especially as your pace can vary due to factors like weather, terrain, or fatigue.   Pace - Running to pace intensity involves setting and maintaining specific paces during your runs based on your goals and fitness level. This approach relies on measurable speed, helping runners stay consistent and hit desired performance targets. Why Run to Pace Intensity? Goal-Oriented Training: Enables you to train precisely for specific race goals, like a personal best or qualifying time. Consistency: Keeps your workouts structured and ensures you're working at the right level of effort. Progress Measurement: Tracking pace helps evaluate improvement and adjust training over time. When to Run to Pace Intensity? Race Preparation: Crucial when training for events like 5Ks, marathons, or ultramarathons to mimic race day conditions. Tempo and Speed Workouts: Ensures you're working hard enough to improve endurance or speed. Performance Tracking: Useful in testing sessions to assess fitness levels and adapt training plans. How to Run to Pace Intensity? Set Target Paces: Base them on your fitness level or goals, often determined through assessments (like a recent race) or pace calculators. Example: A long run at a slower, steady pace vs. interval training at faster paces. Use a GPS Watch or App: Track your pace in real time to stay on target. Match Workouts to Paces: Easy Runs: ~60–75% of your race pace, focusing on recovery and endurance. Tempo Runs: ~85–90% of race pace, maintaining a challenging but sustainable effort. Speed Work: Short, fast intervals (e.g., 400m) run faster than race pace to build speed. Running to pace is an excellent tool for precision, but it's important to stay flexible since factors like terrain, weather, or fatigue can impact your speed.   Grade Adjusted Pace - Running to grade-adjusted pace (GAP) intensity accounts for the impact of elevation changes (uphills and downhills) on your effort level. It essentially adjusts your pace to reflect how hard you're working, regardless of the terrain, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of intensity.   Why Run to Grade-Adjusted Pace Intensity? Effort Consistency: Uphills and downhills significantly alter your pace, and GAP provides a better measure of effort than raw pace alone. Smarter Training: Allows you to match your effort levels to your goals, even on hilly routes. Race Preparation: Ideal for training on varied terrain while maintaining the intensity required for flat courses or specific race targets. When to Run to Grade-Adjusted Pace Intensity? Hilly Routes: Use GAP to ensure your effort stays consistent when elevation fluctuates. Long Distance Training: GAP can help keep you within the right intensity zone during marathons or other endurance events on rolling terrain. Performance Analysis: Post-run, GAP is great for evaluating your effort compared to your intended training intensity. How to Run to Grade-Adjusted Pace Intensity? Use a GAP Calculator or App: Apps like Strava and certain running watches automatically calculate GAP based on elevation data during your run. Focus on Effort: Pay attention to how your body feels in hilly sections and adjust your pace to keep a steady effort. Uphills: Run slower than your flat-ground pace; GAP adjusts to reflect the extra effort. Downhills: Your pace naturally increases, but GAP accounts for the reduced effort. Incorporate GAP into Training Zones: Easy runs: Stay in lower GAP zones to avoid overworking on hills. Tempo runs: Use GAP to sustain the intended intensity, regardless of terrain. Hill workouts: GAP helps you measure consistent effort, improving strength and endurance. Running to grade-adjusted pace allows you to train smarter, especially in regions where hills dominate the landscape. Power - Running to power intensity involves using a power meter to measure the amount of force or effort you're exerting during a run, expressed in watts. Unlike heart rate or pace, which can be influenced by external factors, running power provides an immediate and objective measure of your effort, making it a highly efficient way to train. Why Run to Power Intensity? Objective Measurement: Power reflects your actual output, unaffected by variables like heat, fatigue, or elevation. Precision: It ensures you're training at the right intensity for specific goals, from endurance to speed. Consistency Across Terrain: Power accounts for changes in elevation and surface, helping you maintain consistent effort. Improved Efficiency: Monitoring your power output can help you refine your running form and efficiency. When to Run to Power Intensity? Hilly or Variable Terrain: Power allows you to maintain effort regardless of elevation changes, making it great for trail or road running. Interval Training: Provides instant feedback, so you can hit and sustain specific targets for each interval. Racing: Helps you avoid going out too hard or too easy by sticking to your target power zone, especially in events with rolling hills. How to Run to Power Intensity? Set Power Zones: Determine your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) through a fitness test, then calculate power zones (similar to heart rate zones): Zone 1 (Recovery): 55% or less of FTP. Zone 2 (Easy): 56–75% of FTP for aerobic base building. Zone 3 (Moderate): 76–90% of FTP for steady-state running. Zone 4 (Threshold): 91–105% of FTP for sustained hard efforts. Zone 5 (VO2 Max): 106–120% of FTP for short, intense intervals. Zone 6 (Anaerobic): Over 120% of FTP for maximal efforts. Use a Running Power Meter: Devices like Stryd or certain smartwatches with power sensors provide real-time wattage data. Match Workouts to Zones: Long runs: Stay in Zone 2 for endurance. Tempo runs: Target Zone 3–4 for sustained, moderate efforts. Intervals: Push into Zone 5–6 for high-intensity bursts. Training with power takes some adjustment but can lead to greater insights and efficiency in your running.   Get Gritty Tip: Mastering Run Intensity Not every run should feel like a race. One of the biggest mistakes endurance athletes make is pushing too hard on easy days and not hard enough on intensity days. The result? Stagnation, burnout, and frustration. Here's the key: Honor the purpose of each run. Easy runs should be easy—think conversational pace, building endurance without taxing your system. But when it's time to go hard, don't hold back. Speed work, tempo runs, and race efforts should push your limits, not just check a box. Challenge: On your next run, be intentional. If it's an easy day, slow down more than feels natural. If it's an intense day, embrace the discomfort and lean in. Training smart is how you break through. Grit isn't just about effort—it's about discipline. TriDot Workout of the Week:  “Threshold Repeats” vs “Recovery Run” Threshold Repeats Session Note Your goal is to perform each repeat with a consistent effort. The pace of your last repeat should be the same or slightly faster than your first. Be conservative and don't go out too hard on the first one else your later repeats will be negatively impacted. The most significant training benefit will come in how well you perform on the last few efforts. Recoveries should be at an extremly slow jog.   Main Set 2 x 9 min @ Z4 (2 min) Balance of session @ Z2 Balance of time @ Z2 Recovery Run   Session Note It's essential to manage your intensity for this session based on heart rate rather than pace and keep your heart rate well within the proper zone, even if it means walking instead of running.   Going too hard on this session will hinder your recovery from prior sessions, limit your ability to get the most out of future sessions, and deprive you of the essential training adaptations that only come with training at the lower intensity.   The pace at which you can go while maintaining a lower heart rate (and whether that is walking or running) is determined by many factors including environment, dehydration, residual fatigue, body composition, running efficiency, and aerobic fitness.   As your body composition, running efficiency, and aerobic fitness improve, you will develop the ability to go faster at your target heart rate. Maintaining your lower heart rate during these sessions is key to developing that ability.   Your heart rate is the standard of truth for your intensity level on this session. If you need to walk, then be disciplined to walk and remember that for these sessions ‘walking is winning'.

In this episode, I talk about RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) during workouts.

RPE stands for 'Rating of Perceived Exertion'. It has gained popularity year on year within the lifting community as a means of approximating intensity/proximity to failure. However many have criticised it for its accuracy and utility with beginners. Angus and Will are two coaches on the cutting edge of evidence based practice, who have amassed large followings with their no BS approach. In this episode, they give their own takes on the utility of RPE, and how they implement it.

In Exercise Science there's a concept (tool, scale) that's used to assess how hard a person thinks they're working (1-10) based on their capacity, with 10 being their (perceived) absolute physical limit. It's called the 'Rate of Perceived Exertion' (RPE) scale. It's a subjective self-assessment (which makes it makes it more science-ish, than hard science) but nonetheless, I'm always interested in how hard people 'think' they're working (or perhaps, how much of their potential they think they're using) in the gym, but also outside the gym. In life. In this TYP extravaganza, Dr. Jodi (who has a PhD. in Exercise Physiology) and I do a deep dive around this concept (and lots more).drjodirichardson.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Norwegian method of training involves more low-intensity zone two training. Balancing volume and intensity is crucial for effective training. Conducting a study on different zones of zone two training can fill a gap in the literature. Psychological aspects, such as self-control and delayed gratification, play a role in endurance training success. Manipulating feedback can be an interesting experiment to see how it affects performance. Using power meters and heart rate monitors can be helpful in interval workouts, but RPE is also a valuable training tool. Don't let the metrics overwhelm you and prevent you from training. Trust your body and listen to how you're feeling. Training without metrics can be a liberating and enjoyable experience. Relying too heavily on data can be a crutch and may prevent you from fully tuning in to your body's signals.   Titles Balancing Volume and Intensity in Training The Norwegian Method: More Low-Intensity Zone Two Training The Value of RPE as a Training Tool The Drawbacks of Relying Too Heavily on Data   Sound Bites "How to properly adjust your zone two training" "The use of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring devices" "The Norwegian method: more low-intensity zone two training" "Manipulating feedback and seeing how it affects future performance."

In this podcast episode, Coach TJ and Zoe discuss various topics related to training and recovery for athletes. They answer questions from listeners, talk about transitioning from training by heart rate to incorporating RPE-based training, and discuss the importance of setting goals and embracing periods without big goals. They also provide insights on recovery from races and how to listen to your body's signals. The episode emphasizes the importance of using a combination of tools, such as heart rate and RPE, to have a well-rounded understanding of your fitness and effort levels. In this part of the conversation, Zoe discusses the use of heart rate training as a complementary method to RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) training. She emphasizes the importance of using heart rate to understand how the body is responding to training and how it aligns with perceived effort. Zoe also talks about the significance of setting short and long-term goals and the struggle athletes face when they don't have a specific goal on the calendar. She encourages athletes to focus on their individual motivations and values, and to find joy in running without always working towards a specific goal. Finally, Zoe shares her criteria for selecting an A-race, which includes deeply wanting the goal, feeling a sense of fear or uncertainty, choosing a logical next step, being willing to change habits or beliefs, requiring help from others, and allowing the goal to align with the life the athlete wants to live. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 03:09 Transitioning from Heart Rate to RPE 09:43 Race Recovery and Listening to Your Body 11:33 Embracing a Season Without Big Goals 14:45 Missed Days of Training and Shoe Replacement 21:15 Using Heart Rate and RPE for Training 31:07 Using Heart Rate Training 33:38 Finding Joy in Running Without a Goal 36:09 Focusing on Individual Motivations 43:02 Goals Aren't the Only Way to Grow 47:51 How Goals Transform Habits and Beliefs 54:11 Requiring Help for A-Races

CBD could benefit competitive runners by helping to reduce anxiety and perceived exertion, according to a forthcoming study. The research, set to be published next month, involved 12 adult subjects who were given either 300 milligrams of CBD or a grapeseed oil placebo. After a two-hour waiting period, participants were instructed to complete a two-mile run on a treadmill as fast as possible. Vital signs were captured periodically throughout the run and afterward, and participants also filled out surveys to measure anxiety and other subjective experiences.

In this week's Coach's Corner, I'm talking all about getting started with strength training after 50. I began this episode by discussing why strength training is so important as we age. Building muscle helps optimize our metabolism, protects us against injury, extends our life expectancy, and makes us "harder to kill" as Mark Rippetoe likes to say. Strength training is also your fat-burning friend since adding muscle revs up your metabolism and turns you into a fat burning machine. Other benefits of strength training include improving overall health, bone density, sleep quality, hormonal profile, libido, and overall quality of life. The bottom line - you're never too old to start strength training!Next, I got into the details of how to start strength training for beginners over 50. I talked about proper "dosing" of strength training by finding the right balance of training frequency, intensity, and volume. For most beginners, I recommend full body workouts 3 days per week, 45-60 minutes per workout, stopping short of technical failure, and keeping intensity around a 7-8 on the Rate of Perceived Exertion scale. I also covered some of the basics like sets, reps and rest periods. For beginners, I suggest 3 sets of 8-12 reps for each exercise, with 1-2 minutes of rest between sets. We want to focus on compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows, but also incorporate some isolation moves. And we always need a proper warm-up before diving into the workout!To demonstrate how to put together a beginner strength routine, I provided a sample 3 day full body workout plan with specific exercises. I also noted that you don't need a gym to get started - you can begin with bands, dumbbells, or bodyweight at home. Just focus on progressively overloading over time.I know that was a lot of info packed into a short episode! My best advice is to not overthink it and just get started. Download the workout anywhere guide and get some bands if needed. And check out the app I mentioned which has tons of guided programs. If you want to lose weight, get healthy, reclaim your sexy, and be an all-around over 50 badass, start strength training today!You can find all the resources mentioned in the show notes over at silveredgefitness.com/243. Thanks for listening and see you next time!Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

Today we talk all about Rate of Perceived Exertion. What is it? Why should we use it? Who should be using it? Is it even helpful?

Did you know that lofty goals are more likely to be achieved than super easy goals? Yes your brain likes, and needs challenge.But how do you know if it's too much? Or in my words. . . What is your Rate of Perceived Exertion with your goal efforts?  I'm going to teach you how to use the Rate of Perceived Exertion scale we typically use in relation to exercise exertion in our goal efforts. Are you trying to lose weight? Do you have goals about eliminating your overeating at night? These are the types of goals we want to put through the RPE test and see where  they land. You'll see how to measure your efforts and decide where to increase and where to decrease your efforts. I want you to reach your goals! If you aren't, be sure to schedule a free strategy session with me so we can assess what's going on. Goals too easy? Too difficult? Likely it's the latter! But we'll figure it out together.More from Well with Lisa:Schedule your free strategy session: wellwithlisa.as.meJoin the Group Coaching Program Waitlist HEREYour Go-To Meal Guide: grab it HEREDon't be shy–come say hi!

RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is something we utilize heavily in our programming, but there can be a lot of confusion around how to find the appropriate RPE, when to use RPE, and why we prefer RPE over exact percentages when it comes to a sustainable, long-term approach to training! Today we're breaking it all down in this deep dive into all things RPE!Links:RISE ProgramFree Downloads: jasonandlaurenpak.com/free-resourcesFollow Us:Reasonably Fit Podcast IG: @reasonablyfitpodJason and Lauren IG: @jasonandlaurenpakTikTok: @jasonandlaurenpak

You may have heard me say that you should do a particular exercise at a particular intensity or your doctor may have told you to get 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise per week. Do you need to buy an activity tracker or get a kinesiology degree to know exactly how intense these workout should be? The truth is that you probably already innately know how hard you are exercising. It's called Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and it's already installed in your brain!Check out Brad's Morning Routine at BrockArmstrong.com/bradmorningLearn more about the Nutrition GPA at nutritiongpa.com

Rating of Perceived Exertion (0-10 scale) Cheat Sheet: 0 - sitting on the couch 1 – Snail walk 2-3 – Brisk Walking 4 – recovery jog (able to nose breath) 5-6 - conversational pace (able to talk normally or sing a song) 7-8 – Tempo/Lactate Threshold - Marathon to ½ Marathon Pacing (Answering a question or Speaking in short sentences – shorter more labored breathing) 9 – 5k/10k Race Pace - One-word statements – breathing super hard – We'll use this as our Max VO2 - Hard/Short Intervals/Strides & Hill Repeats 10 – All Out (I can't speak to you right now – sound like an angry mule while breathing) – We will not use this very often if at all!     Heart Rate Compared to RPE (0-10 scale): 1-2 = Zone 1 3-4 = Low zone 2 5-6 = Upper zone 2 - mid zone 3 7-8 = Upper zone 3 - zone 4 9-10 = Zone 5   Books I mentioned: Mental Training for Ultrarunning by Addie Bracy Training Essentials for Ultrarunning by Jason Koop   MR Runningpains (Aaron's) information: If you'd like to learn more about Patreon or to donate, please visit https://www.patreon.com/MRRunningpains My Socials, Channels, & Newsletter: https://www.facebook.com/MRRUNNINGPAINSEVENTS/ https://www.instagram.com/mrrunningpains/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6J512qA34z_N0KJSU4jfw https://www.strava.com/athletes/18431982  To sign up for my Newsletter -https://www.mrrunningpains.com Email - runningpains@gmail.com Thanks to all of you for listening!

You want to get stronger, fitter, faster... etc. But to do any of those things you need to push harder, lift heavier and run faster/farther.  So is rating how hard you work a good way to track progress? We call this your RPE, rate of PERCEIVED exertion. And we need to have a little chat about it. Listen in. Plus, learn about the Shred... lifting with rings on... and doing box jumps even though they scare the crap out of you.  Thanks for listening!  Summer Shred!
